Answer #1

Answer

1. Molecule A with partition coefficient 4 will move faster across the membrane. The higher the partition coefficient, higher will be solubility and one with greater solubility will pass more quickly across the membrane.

2. Fe2(SO4)3  solution will dissociate into, Fe2(SO4)3 ------------>. 3Fe+ +SO4- ​ (4 ions)

. Osmolarity = Molarity X dissociated ions

. = 2 mol/L X 4 ions

. = 6 Osmol/L
